Genome sequencing of a metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli Ne7 strain isolated from a patient with urinary tract infection in Ahvaz-Iran

We report the draft genome sequence of an extensively drug-resistant and metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli Ne7 strain isolated from a urinary tract infection patient. Under the O8:H9 serotype and F phylogenetic group, this strain had a sequence type of ST648, five replicon plasmids, 16 virulence genes, and 21 antibiotic resistance genes.
